Wear an approved full-face air supplied respirator for excessive or unknown concentrations. Selected
chemical cartridges for respirators, i.e. OV, OV/AG, GME have been tested successfully under lab conditions
to remove hydrogen peroxide and peracetic acid vapors in concentrations exceeding the applicable exposure
limits. Further information is available in a Solvay Chemicals, Inc. Technical Communication, located at
http://www.solvaychemicals.us/resource.htm in the Peractic Acid section.
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) have requested
the following information be provided: Combustible materials exposed to hydrogen peroxide should be
immediately submerged in or rinsed with large amounts of water to ensure that all hydrogen peroxide is
removed. Residual hydrogen peroxide that is allowed to dry (upon evaporation hydrogen peroxide can
concentrate) on organic materials such as paper, fabrics, cotton, leather, wood or other combustibles can
cause the material to ignite and result in a fire.
